You can install the TrueSight Presentation Server unattended (a silent installation), which requires no user interaction during installation. You can perform a silent installation, as described in this topic, or use the installation wizard.
The following files are used to configure the silent installation of Presentation Server:
These files are located in the Disk1 directory of the Presentation Server installation file structure.
The following topics are included:
Before you begin the silent installation, complete the following items:
On the system where you want to install the Presentation Server, complete the following procedure:
Use a text editor to open the relevant server-silent-options.txt file.
Specify a valid installation directory for the Presentation Server:
-P installLocation=<directory>
The <directory> is the installation location, which must be empty. If the Windows path includes a space, enclose the path in quotation marks.
Under the Installation Features section is the Presentation Server component name.
# Install TrueSight Presentation Server -A featureTrueSightPServer
Under the Installer Configuration section, enter the TrueSight Server installation configuration information.
If required, change the default port numbers. Ensure that the port number you enter is available.

Notes
The Maintenance Tool enables you to create an encrypted password that the Presentation Server requires for importing a KeyStore. You must use an encrypted password so that the KeyStore password is not exposed in the server-silent-options.txt file.
You can run the Maintenance Tool in a GUI or from the command line interface (CLI).
Perform the following tasks after installing the Presentation Server:
Role-based user access to the features and components that comprise the BMC TrueSight Operations Management is enabled by persona-based authorization profiles. Each authorization profile is associated with one or more BMC Atrium Single Sign-On (SSO) Server realms and comprises user groups, roles and permissions, and objects. These authorization profiles determine the features and objects that users can access and monitor. You can use the default authorization profiles as is, or you can modify their attributes. If necessary, you can also create authorization profiles.
